Corporate Innovation to Meet Load Growth: Modernizing the Grid and Markets to Accelerate Economic Opportunity

With significant load growth forecasted to occur across the United States during the next five years, companies are bringing innovative solutions to meet that electricity demand with clean and firm energy. The Clean Energy Buyers Association represents more than 400 companies and organizations across the United States with more than $15 trillion in market capital, and their ability to continue to grow and innovate is directly tied to their ability to access affordable, reliable, and clean energy to power their operations. The load growth is being driven by the industries and areas of economic expansion of the future: electrification and reshoring/onshoring of manufacturing, growth in data centers and automotive, and battery and solar manufacturing. Learn more about the new thinking and solutions companies are implementing — including recent agreements with utilities to add clean and firm energy resources to the grid, innovations to improve existing transmission and reforms needed to build more, areas where market expansion can bring more clean energy to the grid — and how all of this will advance the nation’s economic growth and job creation. Corporate Innovation to Meet Load Growth: Modernizing the Grid and Markets to Accelerate Economic Opportunity. In Partnership with Emerson Collective.
